Louis Murder: Lynched Teenager’s Mother Demands Justice
1st July 2026
Good luck with that.
The family of Louis, the 17-year-old boy beaten to death at a construction site in Narbonne, France, have spoken publicly about the impact of the attack, with his aunt describing the footage of the incident as “unspeakable.”
Marie-Julie Marteau, Louis’ aunt, told BFMTV on Monday, June 29, that she had watched videos of the assault and said the family had been left deeply traumatized. She said Louis’ mother had been “in a state of total shock” since the teenager’s death.
Marteau described the video as extremely distressing and said the family struggled to understand the level of violence shown in the footage.
She added that those responsible appeared to show no remorse during the assault. “They are laughing, they beat him, they leave him no way out,” she said, describing the footage as showing the attack being recorded alongside “snickering and selfies.”
